Project description:This Phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of LB-100 and azenosertib for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Azenosertib blocks a protein that is involved in the repair of damaged DNA, this protein is called WEE1. Inhibiting WEE1 drives cancer cells into a state of cell division without repair of the damaged DNA, resulting in cell death. LB-100 has been shown to make anticancer drugs work better at killing cancer. LB-100 blocks a protein called PP2A. Blocking this protein increases the stress signals for the tumor cells that express PP2A. Research has shown that azenosertib and LB-100 may enhance each others effect when treating metastatic colorectal cancer.
Project description:Chromatin from LNCaP-C4-2B cells was immunoprecipitated using pY88-H4 or IgG antibodies, followed by sequencing of the ChIP-DNA Examination of the distribution of pY88-H4 epigenetic marks in CRPC cell line
Project description:Bisulphite sequencing enables DNA methylation analysis of every cytosine residue. We have optimized conditions for combining chromatin immunoprecipation (ChIP) with high throughput bisulphite sequencing to study the relationship between histone modifications and DNA methylation. Paired-end bisulphite sequencing of H3K27me3-ChIP DNA for LNCaP and PrEC cell lines
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare AR binding activity in LNCaP cells with and without knockdown of GATA2. Methods: LNCaP cells between passage number 32-34 were used for assay. Cells are transfected with GATA2 specific or nonspecific siRNA and ChIP was performed, the ChIP producted was further used to generate library with illumina ChIP-seq kit. Hi-seq 2500 was used for sequencing and the data was analyzed by MACs for peaks. Results: GATA2 knockdown lead to changes of AR binding activity , in most AR binding sites, AR shows decreased bindig activity. Only small percent sites show increased binding. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the relationship between GATA2 and AR binding in whole genomic DNA.These results demostrate GATA2 play a critical role in AR activity in prostate cancer. LNCaP cells was used as cell model were treated with specific GATA2 siRNA.Library was sequenced using Illumina HI-seq 2500.
